About Wage Theft Claims

Wage theft encompasses various violations of wage and hour laws, including failure to pay minimum wage, unpaid overtime, off-the-clock work, and illegal deductions from pay. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and state wage laws establish minimum standards for compensation. These cases may be brought individually or as collective actions.

Dayton
Unknown CourtJul 18, 2025

The trial court erred in confirming an arbitration award. The arbitrator did not find any violation of the parties' collective bargaining agreement (\CBA\) itself. Rather, the arbitrator improperly looked outside of the CBA and considered a Police General Order in determining that a police officer was entitled to compensation for lost overtime hours that he did not work while on restricted duty. Judgment reversed and remanded.
